Gender Type

This study was conducted to determine how differences of self gender-type and partner's gendertype in Japan had an effect on interpersonal stress (anxiety/uneasiness) during a conversation among mixed-sex pairs. The level of interpersonal stress was discussed in relation to blink rate. The participants were assigned to one of the following four pair types: (a) Male and female were androgynous (maleA-femaleA); (b) Male was androgynous and female was stereotypically sex-typed as feminine (maleA-femaleST); (c) Male was stereotypically sex-typed as masculine and female was androgynous (maleST-femaleA); (d) Both were stereotypically sex-typed (maleST-femaleST). Dependent measures were (1) Blink rate during five-minute conversation of one-minute intervals, and (2) Questionnaires (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory I and Iceberg Profile). Results suggested that participants who had a conversation with an androgynous partner reduced their interpersonal stress.

Given that anxiety is a significant individual disposition that affects sports performance, this study aimed to verify the latent variables obtained by the State – Trait Anxiety Inventory X-2, and to compare the obtained factor solutions with the proposed model of latent variables. The second aim refers to the presentation of the results of the questionnaire State – Trait Anxiety Inventory X-2 answered by Serbian male and female handball players. The research was conducted on a sample of 170 respondents, 99 male and 71 female handball players, aged 14 to 39 years (average age = 21.9) with an average handball playing career of 9.39 years. Towards the end of 2019, the respondents filled in the above-mentioned questionnaire used to assess anxiety as a personality trait. Exploratory factor analysis with certain modifications of the algorithm was applied to determine accurately latent space. The overall analysis was performed using the R statistical package. Four factors were selected based on the conducted factor analysis of the latent space of the questionnaire. Ten, five, three and two items are projected on the first, second, third and fourth factor respectively. Since internal reliability of the fourth factor was 0.394 it was excluded from further consideration and interpretation. The achieved scores on four separate factors show that Serbian male and female handball players achieve average results on the first (Presence of Trait anxiety) and the third factor (Absence of proactivity), while they achieve scores above the average on the second factor (Positive affect). In order to examine the sex differences between the examined variables, a one-way analysis of variance was performed. The findings show that there is no statistically significant difference on all three factors between the scores achieved by male and female handball players. A statistically significant difference between handball players of different competitive ranks appeared only on the Positive affect factor between the top athletes and the athletes in the second league (p = .04).

Kutatásunk célja az SPSI—A (Social Problem Solving Inventory—Adolescent, Frauenknecht és Black, 2010) adaptálása volt 12 és 16 évesek körében (N=540). A kérdőív konvergens és diszkriminatív validitásának vizsgálatához az SPSI—R-t (Social Problem Solving Inventory—Revised, D’Zurilla és mtsai, 2002), a Davis által kidolgozott empátiakérdőívet (Interpersonal Reactivity Index, 1980), valamint a Spielberger- féle vonás - és állapotszorongást mérő kérdőívet (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children, Spielberger és mtsai, 1973) használtuk. Az eredeti kérdőív 10 faktoros, 64 kijelentésből áll. A feltáró és a megerősítő faktorelemzés eredményei alapján a magyar változat — SPSI—A(H) – 54 tételt tartalmaz, melyek 11 faktorba csoportosulnak (az eredeti Gondolatok faktor kijelentései elkülönülnek a Pozitív gondolatok és a Negatív gondolatok faktorba). A kérdőív mind a 12, mind a 16 évesek mintáján jó megbízhatósággal (a Cronbach-α sorrendben 0,81 és 0,83) mér. Az eredmények alapján az SPSI—A(H)-t alkalmasnak tartjuk a problémamegoldással kapcsolatos automatikus gondolatok, a problémamegoldáshoz való érzelmi, gondolati viszonyulás, az elkerülés, a probléma meghatározása, a célmeghatározás, az alternatív megoldási módok keresése, a következmények végiggondolása, illetve a nem megfelelő megoldás esetében a gondolatok, teendők újraszervezése és az utólagos kiértékelés mérésére.

Breastfeeding Rate

The purpose of the present study was: a) to describe the theme of verbalizations about breastfeeding in mothers' pre-term (M-PT) and full-term (M-FT) infants; b) to examine the association between these themes and mother's anxiety and depression indicators and socio-demographic characteristics and, neonatal characteristics of the infants. The sample consisted of 50 M-PT and 25 M-FT. The mothers were assessed through State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and Beck Depression Inventory and were interviewed using a Guide focusing breastfeeding issues. The M-PT group had significantly more mothers with clinical symptom of anxiety than the M-FT group. The M-PT reported more uncertainties and worries about breastfeeding and figured out more obstacles for the successful breastfeeding than the M-FT. These reports were associated positively with the infants' risk neonatal status; lower birth-weight, higher neonatal clinical risk, and more length time stay in NICU were associated with more mothers' worries and seeing obstacles for breastfeeding. In conclusion, the strategies to enhance the breastfeeding rate in the preterm population have to take into account the mothers' psychological status and their ideas in addition to offering information about the advantages of breastfeeding for child development.

The Relationship

139 Italian undergraduates (61 men and 78 women) responded to the Italian version of the Christie's Mach IV scale and to the Italian version of the Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. Positive correlations between Mach IV scores and both State Anxiety and Trait Anxiety scores were found for both sexes. The authors hypothesized that moderate anxiety may be associated with high Machiavellianism. Further implications of the findings were discussed.
